Not happening.
PS3 limitations

I wish people would stop replying that to suggestions. After all, if SE does see this and support the suggestion, it doesn't meant they have to do it right away. They're only doing ps3 support up to 3.0, so they could always add this suggestion for after 3.0 if the PS3 can't handle it.

I think it's a great idea and would love to see this implemented someday.

so they could always add this suggestion for after 3.0 if the PS3 can't handle it.

It will just be PS4 limitations then.

But if i dont remember wrong adding new tabs in menu(like OP's picture)would be hard if not impossible due PS3 RAM issues. But yeah this kind of feature would be neat, they could even keep prisms with this system(still requiring prism when changing appearance)so crafters wouldnt lose that either.

nah it wouldn't, only things that have to remain in memory would cause ram issues. this wouldn't remain in memory it would be something called forth when needed from the hard drive

I was thinking of suggesting this. Having a list of unlockable armor appearances seems much less memory intensive than storing each item on a retainer, where the item has to keep track of what materia is (or isn't) on it at any time vs "does the character have the unlock for this item? yes/no"

I love this idea! Great post

Cash shop revenue ---> better servers

Cash shop revenue ---> development of games not named Final Fantasy XIV

FIFY

Seriously, there is a reason why SE hasn't done this and it isn't just the PS3, it's becuase their servers are too crappy for stuff like this and why is that the case. Well between reception of the XIII trilogy, the response to 1.0 and the development of games like Final Fantasy XV and Kingdom hearts III) they might not have enough funds to make development of games for this go smoothly. And they do not have only Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts and Dragon Quest under their belt (and with them 2 other MMOs), there is also stand Deus Ex, Tomb Raider and standalone games like The World Ends With You.

And before people jump on me, I'm not saying this to shot down the idea, I'm saying this because as a business they cannot devote all their resources or even 50% of them to one game like this, not without sacrificing FF XI and DQ X in the process or waiting until XV and KH3 are finished.

That said I think it can work but there is gonna have to be a cap for stuff like this (and/or its gonna have to be accessed via a separate relatively seldom loaded inventory like the Retainers)

But if you think about it, who's fault is that but SE's own? It's not their customers who forced them to rush out 1.0 like they did, leading to the financial disaster it became. There's no reason the current playerbase (a large playerbase, I might add, which made 2.x an unexpected success) should have to pay for mistakes that were entirely SE's fault. If crappy servers are what's holding the game back, they need to get better ones, no excuses. "Oh but it's not that easy, their financial situation, yada yada", is all well fine and good, but it's not our job, as consumers, to care about that or to look out for the company's wellbeing and benefit, not when the threat to its wellbeing was made entirely by its own hands. Nor should we accept it as an excuse for inferior service. The servers have been the go-to excuse and reason every time they say we can't get something since day one of ARR. It's getting old, fast.
